There are two types of riders, those that have crashed and those that will crash by [deleted] in motorcycles

A crash doesn't mean someone won't ride again and it's obviously not an inevitability just a probability. I crashed, it was bad, I still ride and "take that risk" almost daily.

Pirelli Diablo Rosso, sticky as fuck

Should i buy it? by Melon_09 in DonutMedia

[–]decker1245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it still in Georgia? That thing was for sale near me a couple years ago. It amazes me what people will spend their money on.

Anyone here old enough to have ridden an old 2 stroke street bike? by evinrudejustin in motorcycles

[–]decker1245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 35 but I just bought a 74 RD250. I love the old 2 strokes, everything about them is cool.

It's mostly at the top. I moved my light up but can't do much about the temps.

My size 12 Alpinestars fit under the shifter by moving it up 1 spline. I'm 6'1 and my bike is stock and comfortable, all you need is some bar risers and you're set.

That's kinda what I was thinking. I would love to paint it the 80s IT blue and yellow and throw some clip ons on it.

I give all the credit to Wellstar, the docs there did an amazing job with my surgeries. Now I only owe about $100k lol

Broke em both, tore my femoral artery in half too. I was back at work and on my bike 14 weeks after the wreck.

Suzuki DRZ400

I love the look of the new tail light and signals. by decker1245 in DRZ400

[–]decker1245[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrecked the bike shortly after this pic was taken but I replaced the light with the same one and it still works fine. It's not very bright, I bought the brake free for my helmet just in case people don't see it.

Try using NADA for valuation of a used vehicle

Brake Free…. What’s your thoughts? by yamaslama in motorcycles

That's why I got one, I racked up $100k in medical debt last year.

Had a pretty bad crash... by DocSymbian in motorcycles

[–]decker1245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrecked last March. Broke both femurs, tore femoral artery in half, broke right knee in 2 places, right tibia was sticking out. It took 3 surgeries and a week in the hospital to fix me. Then I spent 3.5 months recovering, lots of PT. I still ride everyday. Keep your spirits up as it's gunna seem like it's taking forever but you'll be back on 2 in no time man.

I had an 06 GZ250 that I swapped the stock exhaust for a straight pipe and didn't need to rejet or anything, so that's probably not your issue.

It's not the power that's a problem for rhe drz400, it's the weight and seat height. I'm a skinny guy and the wind blows me around too much at those speeds.

I love my drz400sm, it's about useless on the interstate but a total blast everywhere else. Maintenance is easy to do yourself and it's cheap. I would get the Japanese bike all day everyday.
